<h2>Introduction</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This is the Embedding distribution of <a
|
|||
|
|
href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>. It serves as a reference
|
|||
|
|
and smoketest distribution to demonstrate a typical subset of Mozilla
|
|||
|
|
needed to embed it into another application. The distribution contains
|
|||
|
|
sample applications for testing and development purposes.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Please note the phrase<i> typical subset</i>! If you want to use a different
|
|||
|
|
subset then see the <a href="#cust">customizing the embedding distribution</a>

<h2>Contents </h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The distribution contains, libraries, resources and chrome. All of this
|
|||
|
|
is a subset of Mozilla, repackaged for embedding. The layout follows
|
|||
|
|
the usual Mozilla directory, i.e. </p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>./ - Test applications, launch scripts and core libraries (xpcom,
|
|||
|
|
nspr etc.)</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>./components/ - XPCOM components (network, graphics, layout,
|
|||
|
|
content, etc.).</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>./chrome/ - chrome files. In embedding most of the chrome has
|
|||
|
|
been re-packaged into a single embed.jar file to make it more manageable.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>./res/ - miscellaneous rendering and parser files.</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>./defaults/ - default preference settings</li>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</ul>

|
|
etc. More information about the control including installation instructions
|

<h2><a name="cust">Customizing the embedding distribution</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The embedding distribution is produced by first building the full Mozilla
|
|||
|
|
source and cherry picking files and chrome into a separate embedding
|
|||
|
|
directory. Basically the steps are:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Build Mozilla as usual</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>cd mozilla/embedding/config</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>make</li>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The embedding distribution will appear in mozilla/dist/Embed.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>The build process works by reading a file called basebrowser-win (or
|
|||
|
|
basebrowser-unix, basebrowser-mac-macho etc.) and copying the listed files
|
|||
|
|
from mozilla/dist/bin into mozilla/dist/Embed. It then reads a file called
|
|||
|
|
embed-jar.mn and repackages the specified chrome files and directories
|
|||
|
|
into a single embed.jar.<br>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This process can be customized in one of two ways:<br>
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<ol>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Edit basebrowser-foo (where foo = win, unix etc.) and remove/add the
|
|||
|
|
items you require</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Create a new file called client-foo and add the items you require.
|
|||
|
|
This file is detected by the build process and will be run <i>after</i> the
|
|||
|
|
contents of basebrowser-foo have been copied.</li>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
</ol>
|
|||
|
|
The latter is the best probably approach to take since the embedder can
|
|||
|
|
maintain these files without modifying ones in Mozilla<i></i>. The client-foo
|
|||
|
|
file allows embedders to specify files to be added or removed from the
|
|||
|
|
default embedding distribution. A minus sign in front of a filename
|
|||
|
|
deletes that file.
|
|||
|
|
<p>For example if you wanted a distribution containing extra character converters,
|
|||
|
|
but not the ActiveX control and not XMLExtras you might define a client-win
|
|||
|
|
like this:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
